My name is Arvind Mishra. I am calling from Seoni district in MP. There is a big drought around and many are migrating in search of work to outside as there is no work around. Whatever work is opening people are not getting to know about it. I would like to request CGnet that you should spread the word about any work started by Govt so that people can know about it. You are also requested to put pressure of Govt officials to publicise any work they are starting for distressed people. Mishra@9669060428
